All Kids Dental would love to partner with you!
Every child deserves a healthy smile and we would like to help you ensure optimal oral health for your children!
Our goal is to address and overcome barriers to oral healthcare for children through outreach and education.
We want to create a fun atmosphere to educate and train adolescents on how to care for their teeth where it will make a lasting impact.
Our registered hygienist will provide all the materials needed for the presentation, and distribute dental supplies according to how many children are in each class.
Untreated tooth decay in children causes pain and infection that leads to more missed school days and lower academic performance. We believe in collaborating with school systems, parents and caregivers to ensure that children are in good oral health and ready to learn.
Here is what we have to offer:
- School presentation
- Dentist for a Day (activities and pretend play)
- Dental Screening

Soft tissue grafts are sometimes performed to treat gum disease, or correct other abnormalities.
The procedure involves taking gum tissue from the palate or another donor source to cover an exposed root in order to even the gum line and reduce sensitivity.
Periodontal procedures are available to stop further dental problems and gum recession, and to improve the aesthetics of your gum line. For example, an exposed tooth root resulting from gum recession may not be causing you pain or sensitivity, but is causing one or more of your teeth to look longer than the others. In other cases, an exposed tooth root causes severe pain because it is exposed to extremes in temperatures or different kinds of food and liquids.
Once contributing factors are controlled, a soft tissue graft procedure will repair the defect and help to prevent additional recession and bone loss.
